Secret Cinema – is back – but what’s the secret?

We are going to offer a free classic “hororr” film from the Hammer stable (chosen by our resident film expert) for a week in the afternoon throughout the festival.

Under the terms of our generous performance licence we can’t charge (which we  don’t) and we can’t advertise the film by name. But we can promise each film is a cracker.

In the opinion of in-house critic this is the greatest Vampire film ever, with the greatest van Helsing. This scorching classic has been re-edited to include shots too disturbing for a 1958 audience. “If you’re only able to watch one of the films on offer, this is the best of the bunch.”
